South Park death threats may sound like something that Trey Parker and Matt Stone would put in their own show, but after Episode 200 of South Park, South Park death threats are a very real danger. After a tongue-in-cheek depiction of Mohammed, a “radical” website posted a very detailed warning saying that Trey and Matt may well end up dead. Stone and Parker may well need to look into unsecured personal loans to get private body guards, though the network that shows South Park has not offered an official response.
Other extremist murders echoed by South Park death threats
Theo Van Gogh, a very violent murder, was echoed in South Park death threats. Theo Van Gogh was the Dutch artist who was murdered in 2004. There were graphic photographs of Theo Van Gogh’s death and near-decapitation attached to the South Park death threats. In an interview with Fox News, the author of the post that included the South Park death threat claimed that the post was “not a threat, but it really is a likely outcome”.
Death threats follow South Park Episode 200
The episode that led to Abu Talhah al Amrikee posting the South Park death threats was aired on Comedy Central last week. The South Park death threats focused on the depiction of Mohammad in the episode, which was making fun of the concern of showing Mohammad. During the episode, Mohammad is depicted, but only disguised in a bear suit. All other depictions of Mohammad during the South Park episode are covered with a “censored” bar that blocks the view of the character. South Park has depicted Mohammad in the past during “Super Best Friends” episodes, though those episodes did not lead to South Park death threats.
South Park death threats also included specific information
While the South Park death threats were supposedly “just a warning,” the post included details that were very specific about Parker and Stone. The layout of the mansion that Trey and Parker shown was included in the post that had the South Park death threats. While Comedy Central has made no specific comment about the death threats, it would not be surprising if they offer easy cash loans for Trey and Stone to beef up their security details.
